These towels are both functional and decorative. They absorb water as a traditional towel would, dry very quickly, and are lightweight and compact. Because of this, they can be used anywhere, any time of the year. They are perfect to bring to the beach, to lay on by the pool, to use in a fitness center or spa, to bring to a yoga class, to bring while traveling, to use as a shawl for warmth or added style, and more. Easy to mix and match, these towels can also be kept on your chairs and couches as decorative accents for your home.
